Keep Chicago Beautiful's tune is keeping Chicagoland clean and beautiful. That takes good solid waste management practices.
Using less stuff. Recycling, composting, and reusing things. Sending the rest to landfills. Preventing litter. Spiffing up our neighborhoods. Find out how you can be "part of the solution, not part of the pollution."
20 years ago, there was one curbside recycling program in the US. Today there are 10,000!
